PATRICIA ZUPAN: "The New Dantean Alba: A Note on Paradiso X, 139-148."
 
Abstract: Discusses the image of the clock, bride and bridegroom at the end of Paradiso X as the product of Dante's blending together erotic and religious themes from the Provençal albas: Falquet de Romans' "Vers Dieus," Cerverí de Girona's "Aixi con cel," and Giraut de Bornelh's "Reis Glorios."
